Researcher + Story Producer

Dallas-Fort Worth, TX preferred, but open to remote / hybrid

We make videos that explain money, markets, and modern life. Every piece of content we publish exists to make big, complex ideas immediately understandable through highly visual explanations, built around real-world props, scenarios, and data.

We're looking for a Researcher + Story Producer to help lead projects from early idea development through post production. In this role, you will be the engine behind our videos and you'll have a hand in decisions that shape the future of the channel.

What you'll work on:
You will take an approved idea brief and gather inputs from various sources to create story-beats and outlines for long-form / short-form videos that include:

All relevant data, examples, quotes, or signals from credible sources

Multiple angles or opinions including the case for, against, and the 'why now'

Insights into the industry or business discussed

A consistent, high-quality explanation of what is actually happening

Opinions on the future of this system or scenario, if this continues

Clean, concise, 2 sentence explanations that make the story immediately understandable to our audience

Who this role is for:

2+ years in storytelling / production roles: editor, creative strategy, short-form development, journalism, production, or equivalent creative work.

You are deeply tapped into YouTube and current events shaping our daily lives

You are excellent at simplifying complex data, issues, or events

You are familiar with platform analytics (YT studio, Instagram, etc.)

You are fast, resourceful researcher who dives deep into a topic and collects the information needed to produce truly valuable content

You are comfortable in a fast-paced, iterative environment

You take responsibility in everything you do

What separates good from great:
Our content works because it reframes things people think they already understand. You need to think that way and know which angle on a topic is the interesting one, not just the obvious one.

What success looks like after the first 90 days:

You've independently researched and outlined multiple long-form videos from brief to final structure

You've helped us increase content volume across platforms, without compromising on quality

You've contributed at least one topic or angle that made it to production (i.e. something we wouldn't have covered without you and your ideas)

Compensation:
Compensation will start on a per project basis, with the goal of becoming a full-time position. Dependent on in-person vs. remote availability
